I have gotten a taste for Emile Zola. This is my second book or actually third of Emile Zola – The Ladies Paradise that I have finished and then Adrian decided to read it too (it is never to early to start reading). The first book I read in school but I have forgotten which book it was. The only thing I remember is that he described a dead body so detailed that I felt disgusted back then. Anyone knows which book that might be?
Počele su mi se sviđati knjige od Emile Zole. Ovo je druga knjiga, bolje reći treća (Ženski Raj) koju sam pročitala i onda se Adrian odlučio da je isto čita (nikad nije prerano početi čitati). Prvu knjigu sam čitala u školi ali sam zaboravila koja je bila. Jedino što se sjećam je da je tako detaljno opisao mrtvo tijelo da mi se zgadilo. Zna li neko od vas koja je knjiga?

The whole week Ada has been sick staying at home. I read somewhere that it is normal for a child to have 6-10 colds per year and if every takes a week or two to recover it is months of cold and wake nights I can expect :/
Today, Ada was finally getting better so we went out for a walk and a little play at the playground. She noticed for the first time that there are plants with thorns. She was so fascinated by it that she stopped at every bush to check if they had thorns or not. 🙂
Adrian has slept through the last two nights, which is something I can dream of with Ada. He also started to communicate with very cute sounds and two days ago he started to grab things. He especially likes to grab his moms hair 🙂Ada je čitavu sedmicu bolesna i kod kuće. Čitala sam negdje da je normalno da djeca prvih par godina života imaju čak 6-10 prehlada i gripa godišnje i ako svakoj gripi treba sedmicu ili dvije da se oporavi onda imam mnogo budnih noćiju za očekivati :/
Danas je Ada bolje te smo izašle malo van u šetnju i da se malo igra na igralištu.
Prvi put je primjetila da neko žbunje ima trnje. Bila je tako fascinirana time da je stajala kod svakog žbuna da provjeri ako ima trnje 🙂
Adrian, za razliku od Ade, zadnje dvije noći je skroz prespavao. To je sa Adom nezamisljivo.
Počeo je i komunicirati i prava je pričalica. A prije 2-3 dana je počeo hvatati stvari sa rukama. Posebno voli maminu kosu čupati… 🙂

Oh Trump. Now the guy is a president!
For me it is an enigma that he got elected a president in the worlds most powerful country. It tells quite much of the mental level of the people in US. I also find it quite funny that everyone now is so loving and pitying for the time with Obama.
Realistically, is there any US president that have been using his power to stop wars, exploitations of foreign countries, exploitation of their citizens, of people in the world?
Obama did not close Guantanamo! He allows the use of drones killing people without trials! These drones are producing tremendous civil losses without anyone being charged for war crimes….and so on…
But hey Michelle looks great in her new Gucci dress!
They are all the same only some are behaving like some superstars and others like the drunk guy in some bar. They all have money, they are all psychopaths and are all doing the worst possible they can having such power to change.
The only thing I hope for now is that we do not get some nuclear bomb dropped somewhere :/ It would be possible…looking at the history the only country that ever nuked on purpose is the democratic USA…
Post of frustrated Me…

Today I enjoyed a day with husband and kids. During the day we had a walk exploring the area we are living in. When it is freezing cold as today the best is to come indoors from the cold and enjoy a cup of tea. Only thing missing today was an open fire. Maybe something to have in mind for the next apartment/ house we move to 🙂

A person I know had, for me funny not to say unbelievable, discussion regarding money. The withdrawal of the rent had been delayed/ forgotten and now suddenly 4 months of rent had been withdrawn in the same month. For me that would only mean that the money for rent had been at my account for 4 months but for this person it showed a fat minus on the account. Suddenly the person was in dispo (with interests of 13%) – 600 Euro which is quite a sum to be in minus with…especially if one is not earning much and it is not even a week since the last salary. The best is the absolute resistance confessing that it was its own fault having no money. Reminded me of the post I once wrote that people should take more care of their own economy by structuring it. So what do we learn of this?

Sometimes you really have to laugh at childrens mentality. Today in the car Ada is telling me : Mama it is beautiful weather today. It is not raining and there are no clouds…Well, I guess it is all a matter of perspective 🙂
Danas u autu Ada meni kaže: Mama, danas je lijepo vrijeme. Ne pada kiša i nema oblaka….Pretpostavljam da je sve stvar gledanja 🙂

This morning the first snow was falling and it was beautiful. What is winter without snow? Then I realized Ada has no sledge and that is a must, so we made a deal to buy a sledge after kindergarten. First we were off to Hornbach and there was nothing, then to Aldi, Real and finally to Toys ´r´us. All this caring Adrian in his (heavy) car seat. This was after kindergarten quite a tough deal for Ada, she wanted to sleep but she stayed strong and finally we bought her first sledge. And my little sunshine was sooo happy. I found it so moving and she was soo cute when she looked for a sledge for Adrian. It really warmed my heart 🙂
Ovog jutra je prvi snijeg napado i bilo je bajno. Kakva bi zima bila bez snijega ? Onda sam skontala da Ada nema sanke a to se mora imati, tako da samo se dogovorile sutradan otiči kupiti sanke. Prvo smo otišli u Hornbach. kad ono ništa, pa onda u Aldi, Real i za kraj u Toys´r´us i to sve sa Adrianom u korpi. Crkla sam vukljajući ga. Inače je Ada umorna poslije vrtića i borila se do kraja da ne zaspe. Sve za sanke! Ada je bila tako sretna i zadovoljna kad smo napokon našli sanke. A najslađa mi je bila kad je tražila sanke za Adriana. Prava je sestra:)
